Uber Feminism

Let’s talk about 'too much of something' 


Well first of all molto grazie you guys I know I did a great job with this sketch or whatever it is called. 

Doesn't it feel wrong when you get something more than what you need? Doesn't that make you feel a little uncomfortable? Lately I feel the same way about feminism . 

Feminism was conceived with sagacious intentions. At that time the world needed it more than food and water. But doesn't it feel a little odd when a magazine or a newspaper article says “XX is the first woman to get this prestigious award.” Personally I feel a little belittled. 

Why does society have to limelight one’s gender rather than one’s work? What if men are treated the same way when they achieve something and we start coming across articles titled “XY is the first man to get this prestigious award.” All I am trying to say is that we don’t need uberwomanization to prove a point. We are all Homo sapiens sapiens with different dosages of X, that’s all. Too much vocalization makes the concept antithetical to the core ideas of feminism proper. 

Women are not out of this world, they don't need to be someone extraordinary, women are woman, just like men are men. That is a very simple concept and can be conveyed without the ostentatious  asseveration
